Beating a dead horse, wifi media connect doesnt work...

facts:

tv connects to twitter, net radio and netflix
tv sees and passes all wireless network tests
tv is friggin clueless it has the ability to connect to my computer
i have tried the "test" to connect wmp to stream to tv and it doesnt work either
little black tv icon says "wifi media connect" if you hover over icon only
"stop projecting" is grayed out if you right click

i get zero confidence my tv is trying to sync up with the software i installed on my computer
computer (2) has the linksys router
computer (1) the "subject" computer has the program installed

i have enabled upnp on my router, i spent 1 hour with tech support, i have read and tried here and nothing and i see MANY people having similar problems so im now trying my hand at asking the masses for help. im stumped and pissed for spending so much time on this. btw, its a 55"lcd with the philips dongle connected.
thanks

1. Network details of your PC and your TV (in fact only the IP addresses should be enough)
2. If Vista or Win 7, can you make a screenshot of your "network and sharing center" window and post it, here we can see if your PC is able to "see" other devices on the network.

BTW do you have other network devices connected to the router? A screenshot of the "Network" explorer window can also give information about detected devices on your LAN.

After you post these things we'll be able to help you further and hopefully resuscitate the "dead horse"

Regards,

ok, im not the best at this stuff so ill see what i can answer.
i only know how to access my router (192.168.1.1) i dont know how to find my tv or pc.
windows 7 http://oi54.tinypic.com/2u6ixr6.jpg

i have 2 computers connected by cable to the router and the tv connects wirelessly via netflix. i dont know where my network explorer window is, sorry i suck.

also, i dont use WMP except for the one suggestion someone posted to try and stream something to get the connection to work at a basic level and i couldnt get that to work either. anything else i can try?
thanks

this tv is about to get a full clip of ar15 through it!!! grrrrrrrr. not really but cant believe this is this hard...

turned password protected sharing off
enabled 40-56 bit encryption

nothing

clicked your link and did EVERYTHING it said, add a device, discover a device, discover or add wifi NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive turned all firewalls off, even inside my routers web page. my network is completely wide open but i still cant see my tv. if my tv is in "discover" mode shouldnt i be able to see it in explorer? its only 25 feet away. what a p.i.t.a

network stuff IS frustrating!!! I have assumed that your IP settings are OK because both TV and PC can access internet, nevertheless and given the current situation we should double check and run basic network tests like doing a PING between PC and TV.

So can you access network settings--> view n on the TV and check that the IP address is in the same range as your PC? and second open cmd.exe on your pc and type "ping $TVIPADDRESS$" where $TVIPADDRESS$ will be what you saw on the tv network details (e.g. 192.168.1.10)

Also it would be useful to do two things:
1. Connect another PC to the home network and see if your PC can see it
2. Connect both PC and TV to another network i.e. another router.

With these tests you'll be able to cross-test the source of your network issue.

So we bought a tv
I've done the best I could to make it look good
And it seems fine but it's not the HD quality
And lets say that even if it has no HD option (cause idk if it does) the problem...
